Dear Editor: I ran for state senator to get out the message that Alabama needs a lottery to address: failing and congested roads, K-community college education and health (mental and other).

I also addressed the issue of a possible new Northport city school system and hope the people of Northport at least get to make the decision as a community with an up or down vote. Not a decision by a few.

Your Alabama legislators will likely face some very tough problems in the next four years — election soundbites and false promises will not provide the needed responses. Economists have predicted our country could fall into the same economic stagnation — at least until 2020 — which has faced Japan for many years due to its aging population.

I wish to sincerely thank all those who had confidence in me and voted for me.
